Rocking Casey Jones, first one with Brent. The band sounds completely revitalized with a new keyboard player.

Not Fade Away
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This Not Fade Away is outstanding, slow funky intro and high energy vocals lead to a short second jam, but it will bring a smile to your face.

I love the Branford solo, very sweet and where Jerry’s solo is supposed to be they transition to “Its Takes a Lot to Laugh…” Give it a listen.

Stanley Theater

Out of an amazing Gloria jam, the first C. C. Rider is a must listen, Bobby just spits out the lyrics. The jam that follows is hot as well.

Another great version from the fall of ’79. Phil is driving this train, powerful chords throughout, nice Weir solo and then Jerry kills it. “The Song that Women sung…” Road Trips No.1 Vol 1 Full Show

“Grendel Books and Music” is right, this version smokes. I just finished listening to the second set of this show, which has some very Heady versions as well.
Deal
May 10, 1978
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

“Coralsandbelow” and “Maximillian” If you guys like this Deal, (which I also do as well), check out the UVM version from 5/6/78, 3 shows before this one. The Donna warning is also appropriate.
Not Fade Away
April 30, 1977
The Palladium

Yes this whole jam is very good, I love the slow mellow Jerry space jam that melts into Stella Blue, great nomination “hmi1892- another fan”.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Torin, never stop now is soo right, this version is “Balls Out Rock and Roll”, the peak will leave you breathless, very, very aggressive, surprised they didn’t blow a few speakers.
